Degrees Offered

The Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy offers a
Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy and a minor in Occupational
Science. The Master of Arts in Occupational Therapy is offered for
students continuing their education following their undergraduate degree
in occupational therapy, and for those whose first degree is in another
field as well as for registered occupational therapists seeking a
post-professional degree. The division also offers the Doctorate of
Occupational Therapy (O.T.D.) and the Ph.D. in Occupational Science.

Entry to occupational therapy practice is at the graduate degree
level only. Students in the bachelor's program will need to continue
their education and earn an M.A. degree in Occupational Therapy in order
to practice.
